Why the Time Has Finally Come for Geothermal Energy It used to be that drawing heat from deep in the Earth was practical only in geyser-filled places such as Iceland. But new approaches may have us on the cusp of an energy revolution.

"Geothermal energy is essentially carbon-free, it is available at any time of day and in any weather, and it leaves a small—albeit very deep—footprint on the landscape."

A quote by Greta Thunberg stating that, "The one thing we need more than hope is actoin. Once we start to act, hope is everywhere." It's in white font on a blue sky background with puffy white clouds.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

Thanks Dylan in the office of @bobbyscott.house.gov for meeting with your constituents from @cclusa.org to discuss current climate legislation. Great meeting!

Thanks Sarah in the office of Rep. Jenn McClellan for meeting with your @cclusa.org constituents!

On a basic level, I think gerrymanders are the wrong direction for our nation. We want more competition in the political arena, not less. I am however glad to see that Trump's effort to keep the gavel in Mike Johnson's hands by gerrymanders is blowing up in his face.

Tell Congress to Work on Clean Energy Permitting Reform We made progress on clean energy permitting reform last Congress, but we need to move faster with a new, bipartisan legislative package in this Congress.

This week, I will be lobbying Congress along with 100's of other members of @cclusa.org to get more clean energy and transmission lines on the grid so we can accelerate away from fossil fuels. Give your Reps and Senators a call here to give us a boost.

I'm worried Americans are going to start eating dogs and cats during this Republican economy.

This action really is insane. These people don't care about reality at all.

The crazy thing is that Burgum's last job was as governor of North Dakota, which gets 36% of its power generation from wind, sixth-highest of any state. But he's just become another Trump yes man. It doesn't matter how stupid and harmful the decision is to Americans, Trump gets what Trump wants.

Zeldin, a few days ago: “We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion.”

It’s amazing how every single sentence coming out of Zeldin’s mouth in defending his proposed repeal of EPA’s endangerment finding is a lie. To understand the truth, see:

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

The anti-science Trumpers may be planning to destroy two working satellites that provide vital measurements about carbon dioxide & climate (and data that forecasts crop yield, drought conditions, & more). They cost $750 million to make but only $15 million/yr to operate.

Great Question. So much contradiction and incoherence from Trump on #climatechange and #cleanenergy

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite The White House has instructed NASA employees to destroy two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.

called the Orbiting Carbon Observatories

Obviously, we need to shut down these satellites to get this problem to go away.

The Republican campaign to stop the U.S. EPA from protecting the climate » Yale Climate Connections An audacious effort to destroy climate regulations is likely headed for a showdown at the Supreme Court.

I read EPA’s 302-page proposal to nuke the endangered endangerment finding so that you don’t have to, and wrote about what the insanity all means for @climateconnections.bsky.social. Thanks to @gregdotson.bsky.social, @hausfath.bsky.social, @michaelemann.bsky.social for the input. Article & 🧵(1/14):

We’re being forced to buy more expensive, dirtier fuels because a corrupt, anti-competitive industry is in control of the levers of state.

What is less well understood is how poorly the United States is prepared to match this rise in electricity demand with an equivalent increase in supply. To some degree, American electricity prices are already rising: So far this year, utilities have received or requested permission to increase customers’ bills by $29 billion, according to a July report from PowerLines, a think tank and advocacy group. That’s a large number in its own right, and it’s more than twice as much as had been approved at this time last year. But when you look across the power system, virtually every trend is setting us up for electricity price spikes: The supply chain to build new natural gas power plants is backed up. Virtually all new utility-scale gas turbines are spoken for until the end of this decade, as Heatmap News covered in February. U.S. natural gas supplies will come under more strain in the next few years as fossil fuel companies export more of the fuel abroad. From 2024 to 2028, North America’s liquified natural gas export capacity is projected to double. Many of the key components to build more grid infrastructure — such as copper or steel — have surged in cost due to Trump’s tariffs and self-induced trade uncertainty. The federal government has become a less stable fiscal and financing partner for energy producers and distributors. On Wednesday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright killed a government loan guarantee for the Grain Belt Express transmission project. Why? “To ensure more responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources,” but also because President Trump asked him to.

It’s hard to find a trend in the electricity system right now that *doesn’t* point to near-term rate hikes if not a broad affordability crisis. That’s a serious problem for climate policy, but also the American economy writ large. I wrote about it: heatmap.news/politics/ele...

Russia attacked Ukraine every single day Trump was POTUS the 1st time

Russia has attacked Ukraine every single time Trump has been POTUS 2nd time.

And he's helped us each time.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social Jill Stein lied often while accepting Putin's support that handed the White House to a guy who desired the destruction of all forms of clean energy. It was a weird deal with the devil, the one she struck.

@greenfire.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gy I bought our Chevrolet Equinox EV a couple months ago. It's great to be gasoline free for driving! Solar awaits when the bank balance stabilizes.

Opinion | The costs of powering the AI revolution Energy use, climate change and workers rights should all be considered.

I joined some other concerned citizens to state our concern in the @washingtonpost.com that AI data centers are driving #ClimateChange. My view: the Trump move of killing support for #CleanEnergy means that AI will be powered by #fossilfuels.

You are welcome @abigailspanberger.com. I knocked over 300 doors to help get you into Congress, might as well do it again to help get you into the Virginia Governor's mansion.

During my time in the Congress, I was the most bipartisan Representative from Virginia.

As Governor, I’ll continue to fight for what I believe in — and that’s focusing on delivering real results for Virginians, no matter their political party.

Thank you @CongressmanBobbyScott for meeting with your Virginia @CitizensClimate volunteers this week.

Great to lobby Congress on climate this week in #CCL2025. But it was disturbing that efforts to revisit legislation and edit out pieces of it is now threatening the entire concept of bipartisanship, on #climatechange and other topics. Do not poison the well we all drink from! Make deal, move on.

This is a big deal. Clean energy projects won’t be built unless we change the permitting process
